Blood transcription giving spells the slain caster didn't know

Post by squib »

I recently extracted the blood of an impact wizard and only got frostbite by the corpse with my corruptor (one of two Bloodtranscription users this breath, you know how to find me, devs)
- You attack [redacted wizard] with your Hands of Nybarros. Your palms become covered with icy chill, and you dart forward to plant a dual palm strike on their body and hit for 8 points of cold damage. You gain 8 XP. This was enough to kill them! You gain an additional 23 Experience Points! (2025-09-08 12:21:54).
- You drain the blood from the corpse, working with the magic flowing through it to crystallize it into a gem containing Frostbite! (2025-09-08 12:22:01)
i'm not 100% certain that it wasn't extracted from a corpse that was already there, but seeing how Sinclair recently learned a custom frostbite skill - and did the killing blow with it... I'm concerned there my be some weird issue with bloodtranscription extracting my own spells.

Code says that the spells come from the dead person in about as close to an ironclad manner as code gets. The most likely explanation is that another dead caster was present.

Database says the corpse of another caster - Atrele's Phendra - is present in the same place and that they know Frostbite. So I think we can call this one case closed and not a bug.
